So said two of the team's seniors as Nebraska wrapped up preparations for Butler on Tuesday. NU hosts the Bulldogs at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the first round of the NIT at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
"I think everybody's focused," Glynn Watson said. "We want to win the NIT, we had a good practice today, and we're ready for Butler tomorrow."
